Title: Grüß Gott from Germany
Post by: Fisch on Mon, 12 December 2016, 15:24:37
And hello!

So, my 10 Year old "Raptor Gaming K1" with MX Black switches starts to show its age...
Time for a new Keyboard!
Stumbled upon this Forum / Community via Google, and going to take a look what the market has to offer :)

Those small 60% Boards look amazing, but I dont think I can live without a Numpad, or even my F-Keys...

That's what I used to say at first (about 5 or 6 years ago) and I've been using nothing but TKL ever since.  :)

Welcome! I was in the same boat as you but I LOVE my 65% now. I could not go back to a full size. Get a 60-65% that is programmable and you will love it.

Welcome :)

I had the same thoughts at first. Well I gave it a try :) besides my hand still wants to type on the missing numpad (since i have my tkl arrived yesterday) I'm not missing it. Feels great. here in the thread i have some pictures posted.

I'm afraid soon I have to replace my keyboard at work with a tkl too.. (I'm already arguing my boss to get one for himself :D)
